Hi everyone
About 10 days ago our cat Midnight had to be put to sleep. Since that time Snowball has been acting normally except for one thing. His energy level has been slightly lower and he hasn't been making any of his usual high speed dashes around the house.
This evening I got out Snowball's favorite wand toy that he just loves and started playing with him. Before Snowball started playing, he seemed to be looking around for Midnight and he didn't have his usual interest in his toy. When he did play for a short time he seemed disinterested.
I think Snowball is grieving but I'm not sure. I have heard of animals grieving before but I haven't actually seen it and I don't want to neglect Snowball's health. I would appreciate some insight from others.
